The Elimination Chamber has long been a stage for unforgettable moments in WWE history. From shattering the plexiglass to high-flying action, WWE fans have witnessed some of the most electrifying action and high drama in the Elimination Chamber.
As we count down to this year's Elimination Chamber, which will be exclusively aired LIVE on Sony Sports Network tomorrow from 2:30 PM IST onwards, we look back at the top five greatest moments of all time from this pay-per-view.
1. High-Flying Morrison:
John Morrison’s extreme athleticism and risk-taking jumps gave him the spotlight throughout his WWE career. The 2011 Elimination Chamber main event between Randy Orton, CM Punk, Sheamus, John Cena, John Morrison, and R-Truth was for a spot in the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania XXVII.
Sheamus was kicked down to the ring by Morrison who was on the top of the pod. Morrison climbed to the top of the steel cage structure and jumped from almost 16 feet onto Sheamus, leading to a pinfall, resulting in Sheamus being eliminated from the match. This moment sent shockwaves across the WWE fans worldwide.
2. The devastating F5:
Brock Lesnar’s physical attributes and aggressive wrestling style make him one of the most dangerous wrestlers of all time. Numerous WWE Superstars have gotten on the end of Lesnar’s signature F5 move but this one remains the most memorable of all. In the 2022 Elimination Chamber match, Brock Lesnar eliminated AJ Styles and Seth Rollins in quick fashion and the final showdown was now between ‘The Beast Incarnate’ and Austin Theory.
Theory looked to escape by climbing up the steel structure, but he was quickly chased down by Lesnar, who banged his head against the plexiglass numerous times and later did the unthinkable by delivering the F5 to Theory from top of the pod. The latter fell feet first to the ground and Lesnar secured his seventh WWE Championship by pinning him.
3. ‘Blissed’ victory:
History was made at the 2018 Elimination Chamber, as we saw the first-ever Elimination Chamber Match featuring female Superstars Sasha Banks, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Mandy Rose, Bayley, and Sonya Deville. All the superstars had a hard time inside the Chamber as they had the opportunity to grab the coveted belt. In one of the shocking moments, Sasha Banks turned her back on her friend Bayley and kicked her from the top of the pod.
In the final stages of the match, Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss pursued the title, but Alexa Bliss delivered the final blow to retain the title.
4. Shocking Invasion:
During the 2010 Elimination Chamber match, the Undertaker walked in as the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion to defend his title against Chris Jericho, John Morrison, R-Truth, CM Punk and Rey Mysterio.
In one of the most shocking moments, Shawn Michaels invaded the Chamber cage and in a twist of events, delivered his signature ‘sweet chin music’ to The Undertaker. Jericho took full advantage and became the new World Heavyweight Champion. The fans were left in shock as it was the first time the Chamber had been invaded.
5. Brogue Kick’ed:
WWE Elimination Chamber 2014 was one of the best Elimination Chamber matches in terms of the fierce battles and the likes of Sheamus, John Cena engaging in a gruelling battle to grab their hands on the WWE Heavyweight Title and the invasion from the Wyatt Family along with Kane’s interference. The best moment from that match was when the defending WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton was locked in the pod and instigated Sheamus to fight him.
Sheamus went a few steps back and delivered his signature Brogue Kick through the pod with precise accuracy, connecting the kick to Orton’s jaw. The Brogue kick shattered the plexiglass. Sheamus wasted no time and drove Orton’s face first twice towards the steel cage.
